I just wanted to thank you so much for your CD Relaxing into Healing [PAIN: Softening the Sensations] which is so beautiful and has been so helpful to me. I have a chronic illness and have been struggling for a long time, but I am so much better now. I have been working a lot with meditation and relaxation techniques. With your CD I could for the first time follow any breathing instructions, which has been an obstacle to me previously, I have felt uncomfortable and slightly panicky but with your… Read more

These are wonderful techniques… You’re giving information that’s been around and that’s been used by a lot of people, but you have a wonderful way of simplifying it, directing it, and taking the pretension out of it so it’s very accessible to the user. The imagery on these relaxation tapes is very powerful.

Hi Nancy! I just want to say thank you for sharing your sound healing last night. It was very beautiful indeed. I loved your rendition of Over the Rainbow – that just blasted my heart and crown open and I felt such radiant joy in that moment. I am definitely feeling the effects. Last night my body was just buzzing for hours, I couldn’t sleep! Today, I feel as if I am releasing a lot and have had several deep insights into the patterns I asked to release!!! Also a lot of random thoughts and I am… Read more

For 15 years I’ve been in chronic pain. I choose not to take medication – that’s why your work is so important to me. I’ve been able to put on your [Pain] CD when I wake up in pain, and it helps tremendously. You have a real gift, Nancy. With profound gratitude,
Anne Sheridan
Your personal presentation is terrific – warm, confident and full of grace. You are wonderfully accepting and affirming of everyone. Being around you was the best part of the class! Thanks for being you.

Yours are the best I’ve ever heard – and I’ve listened to a lot of them!
Karl H.ScreenwriterPort Washington, NY
Ask anyone who knows me to describe me and the word Zen would never be used. However, Zen is what I became prior to my surgery thanks to Nancy and her beautiful Surgery: Mindful Mending CD. I am not one to meditate but was given the gift of her cd a week before my hysterectomy. I didn’t know what a wonderful and needed gift it was going to turn out to be. I listened to it daily in preparation and had it playing on my iPod during pre-op. The anesthesiologist came by right before my surger… Read more

Although, as a health educator, I’ve been familiar with relaxation techniques, you added some refinements to my skills – particularly in the way you incorporate imagery. You impress me as having mastery of the material.

Thank you, Nancy! You didn’t over-sell the merits of your Deep, Healing Sleep CD. I’ve listened to it many times and today have it running continually to float in the relaxing, positive energy you express. It eased the allergic tickle in my throat when I listened to it at the hospital’s Sleep Fair where we met, and now my “lost voice” is almost back! Thank you for being there in the exactly perfect place for me to get the help I desperately needed. You’ve given me my life back. Gratefully,… Read more

Dear Nancy, Once again, you have made my life so much better!!! I have been listening to your CD’s/tapes for many years, regularly, especially at night. Recently my husband had a motorcycle accident and broke both legs. Needless to say, I have been his main caregiver and it has been quite a task. We recently went camping and somehow I injured my eye and have a badly scratched cornea. SO, in addition to assisting my dear husband, I must take good care of myself. My first thought was YOU!!!! I h… Read more

I think you probably knew just how much I needed that time with you yesterday. I have not cried that long and hard with anyone but [my husband] in probably 25 years. So much release…so much insight and healing happened. I have been tired today … but so much calmer. So thank you for being such an amazing being, for offering such a safe space for me and for shining your loving heart and facilitating such deep healing. You are a wonder.

I’ve been listening to Track 5, Embracing All Emotions on the Cancer CD, over and over again, because I really need to hear that…it feels like you really know what I’m going through, and that it’s okay to feel everything I’m feeling. It’s helped so much. Thank you, Nancy…..I’ve also been using your Chemo CD during my treatments, and it’s wonderful…even when I drift off, it’s so nice to have your voice gently guiding me in the background

The day I first heard one of your CDs was a revelation for me…I now have seven of your CDs and have been in your loving, healing radiance for the past two months. You have become my special angel, and for that – and so much more – I am grateful. Pain has been my constant companion, so your has guided me along the way. I constantly use Pain: Softening the SensationsDeep, Healing Sleep and Healing Affirmations & Harp and my most recent purchase, Finding the Peaceful Place Within. I cannot express… Read more

Yesterday I was pretty sick and listened to the new [Pain] CD 3 times. It is just perfect. You have such an amazing gift… your voice is so comforting and soothing and well-timed. Your choice of words is the best…stuff I’ve never heard on any other CD. It eases so much of the tension and lowers the pain decibels so that I can always fall asleep, even if just for a little while. The reprieve I get is such a huge relief. I’d like to buy one for my oldest daughter, as well, because she too gets thes… Read more

At our invitation, Nancy has led a number of workshops at our store. Nancy’s presentations have been resounding successes,. She has a terrific knack for putting people at ease and getting them involved in the easy, enjoyable exercises she leads. Nancy has great expertise, and expresses it in a user-friendly, down-to-earth style that feels welcoming to people from all walks of life. Her warmth and sense of humor add to the value of the information she imparts.
Laura PhilipsPeralandra BooksEugene, OR
I knew I was capable of ‘going inside’ of me (I have at times), but I never really knew how. You gave me the “how-to”…it reinforced the Self that we all have and somehow forget about through our daily lives. Thank-you, Nancy.
L.D.Portland, OR
Can you talk about some of the healing work you’ve done with Nancy? We started with bodywork and… it’s kind of opened some things up and I began to really understand that what was happening here was beyond simple body work, and that I carry within my body a lot of my past [abuse] experience. And that, working with Nancy had really started to open that up in a way that it hadn’t been before. I had been aware of things, and I had been aware of my body as an athlete, as a martial artist, b… Read more

The performance of “We Are Neighbors” was really well received…Many students talked about how moving the performance was…several were moved to tears. We unanimously agreed as a [diversity] committee to host it again next year.

I found Nancy’s voice very appealing. The tape [Relaxation/Affirmation Techniques] is simple, but deep… not a lot of distractions like so many other tapes have. It’s sold well.

[In the touring production of An Oregon Idyl] Nancy Hopps as Margaret is really the driving force of this show. Her presence always stirs up interest. She is both learned and lusty, an entertaining combination.

Nancy has given her time, passion and purpose to the members of Eugene Family YMCA for nearly 20 years. Most of that time she has been a volunteer leading EDGU, and bringing this gift to the people of our community because she cares so deeply about EDGU’s impact. Her ability to lead so many forms of group exercise led her to eventually become a paid Y Staff Instructor as well. (She also taught step and dance aerobics in years past, as well as CoreYoga/Pilates and EDGU now.) Taking classe… Read more

I have been enjoying my “Go to sleep!” CD. I love both CD Resource Kits, allowing each of us, your students, to feel that personal side of you. I have learned to come into the program at different cuts for personalized effects. You do good work! Thank you. P.S. My friend (an RN) is getting good results with your healing CD (Relax Into Healing: Finding the Peaceful Place Within) as well, following her heart surgery.

I gave your Relax-Quick! CD as a gift to each of our professional facilitators at the recent Annual Company Meeting. We then used the CD for an extended relaxation exercise during the meeting. People enjoyed the first exercise so much, that we decided to do the entire Section 2! ‘Rainbow’ and ‘Back-Pack’ were our favorites. One man never made it past the middle of ‘Rainbow,’ and just snored softly through the rest of the exercises! Now that’s relaxation! Our business client lea… Read more

I have spent many years studying the art of relaxation through meditation, guided imagery, positive affirmation and the like and have found your Relax Into Healing Series to be by far some of the best available, anywhere! They are extremely well presented and executed. All the positive energy you put into the series comes through to the listener… The world cannot get too much of these incredible tools! Spread the word!

I did a private crystal bowl sound healing session with Nancy and it was the most profound experience I’ve had in my life. Her gentle, flowing and intuitive approach helped me to relax and connect with the deepest parts of myself. I experienced spatial sound and felt the vibrational frequencies beyond our physical reality. Nancy is a multitalented healer and her capacity to embody fully sound healing is exceptional. Her feminine, loving, warmhearted personality is a gift to this world.
Lauri PoldreEstonia
The most mature play [of the festival] is “Mind Your Own Abyssness” by Nancy Hopps. Here, surrealistic metaphor becomes actual as a man grapples with powerful emotions. At one point he shouts at his fellow actor to, “Quit f**king with my internal landscape!” Take that Edward Albee.
Jonathan Siegle, Register-Guard reviewer
Yours are some of the top ones we recommend for people seriously wanting to deal with stress. They’re very effective! And people really like the affirmations, too. We sell a lot of them!

I was blessed with meeting Nancy in Kona on The Big Island in Hawaii in April of 2010 at a Cancer Retreat at Kokolulu Cancer Retreat Center, where she gifted us with her healing bowls and voice. In August, after flying to Portland to get a second opinion about my cancer situation, I visited her at her Healing Sanctuary. This beautiful place is only 15 minutes from downtown Eugene, yet I felt like I was in a wilderness area surround by beautiful trees and bushes. After a warm greeting fro… Read more

Nancy Hopps brings a heartfelt, soothing quality to her teaching and audio guidance. Her intention is clear and she stands on the power of her experience. Anyone who listens and applies these teachings will come closer to inner peace and healing, the gifts we all desire and deserve.
Alan CohenSpeaker and author of A Deep Breath of Life and many other titles
I first started working with Nancy in 2003. I had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder several years previously, and I was having a hell of a time figuring out how to go forward. Nancy was amazingly helpful, supportive, and incredibly patient during this period of our association. When we terminated the therapeutic relationship at an appropriate point, we parted on loving terms. I called Nancy again in 2010, after a terrifying PTSD flashback of a violent suicide attempt two years previously. … Read more

Nancy brings her gift for sharing deep love and acceptance of who you are to the practice of EDGU. My time spent with Nancy in EDGU has been deeply healing and inspiring to my life in many ways from working through depression and anxiety to learning to love and accept myself as I am. I also began to grow and develop my sense of connection to a higher purpose and to my higher self as student of Nancy’s EDGU class. This was not an overnight process but I do know that my years of EDGU practice wi… Read more

…What is also in the play’s favor is seven terrific roles for four actors. First, there is Sylvia, a tour-de-force role played to the whiskers by Nancy Hopps. She is everything a winsome dog can be – cute, peppy, poutty, sexy, irritable, you name it. She throws herself headlong into the demanding role and carries the day. A stunning performance!

Let it go. Since stress is a huge trigger for cravings, learning to deal with it could potentially save you hundreds of calories a day. This will take some practice. You can try deep breathing or visualizing a serene scene on your own, or you can speed things up by buying one of the many CDs that teach progressive muscle relaxation. A good one is Relaxation/Affirmation Techniques, by Nancy Hopps

As a Massage Therapist [LMT], how do you use Nancy’s work? She’s been a resource for me, so anytime that I have a client that needs to really ground and center, I send them to her. Or, if I have clients who are undergoing chemotherapy or surgery, I always have them go get her CDs. How have Nancy’s CDs helped your clients? Well, one really cool thing about the Surgery one is that surgeons let their patients take the CDs into the operating room. And a friend of mine had knee surgery, and … Read more

I’ve attended a number of seminars, and I’d say yours is one of the best, as far as coming away with really useful tools…I still use your CD frequently as a way to relax mentally as well as physically – to stop the barrage of thoughts that always crowd in when I stop long enough to try and relax. I would highly recommend your seminar to anyone. It was well worth the investment of time and money.

On Tamoxifen, I experience severe muscle cramps during the night, and recently also began listening to your Pain CD at bedtime…. [I’ve also benefited greatly from your Chemo CD].

Nancy Hopps has an amazing voice. It’s no wonder, then, that the listener feels supported, comforted and helped in such amazing ways. I’ve listened to many audio healing programs over the years, but Nancy’s Relax Into Healing CDs truly stand out from the rest. They combine the best of professional content with an understanding of what is really involved in healing under difficult circumstances. I highly recommend these heartfelt relaxation and healing programs.

I purchased your CD Relax Into Healing: Deep, Healing Sleep in December 2003 as I lay night after night for over 2 years not being able to obtain the quality and quantity of sleep I needed in order to function in this busy world. Well, after 2 weeks of looking at the CD I decided, “Well, it can’t hurt to try”. I am writing to you today because I have been able to fall asleep ever since the first time I listened to this amazing CD. I never thought it would really work but I gave it a try. I am so… Read more

I listened to the Surgery CD last night and it is amazing. You are truly a divine spark, Nancy. May your CDs spread near and far assisting millions in their healing process. I had tried 3 different pre-surgery CDs, and all of these pale in comparison to yours. Your voice is a salve for my fear. Really, yours is in a class of its own. I am so grateful, so fortunate that it came to me when it did.

Nancy Hopps fairly beams as she casts her inner glow over the Eugene Chamber Theatre’s “The Descent of Inanna,” a dark and complex modern telling of a 5,000 year old Sumarian myth. Hopps does it all – sings, dances, acts. But primarily she makes you believe in the joys, pains and magnitude of Inanna’s challenges. Her Inanna embodies all the elements of both a sprite and a stone. She is vague and ephemeral one moment, specific and sensual the next. It is her show, and she puts an enormous stamp o… Read more

This is the first time that a crystal bowls presentation really “touched me” – I’ve been to many different events, and they just never really did anything for me. But this – your event – was extremely powerful….something about the way you play them, your voice…just even to watch you…..it was very sacred. It was an amazing experience…….I’m still vibrating from it – literally!

One woman comes in every time and listens to the first five minutes or so of your [Cancer: Embracing the Healing Journey] CD to relax and prepare herself, before she’ll even let me start her chemo preps. Another woman postponed her chemo treatment til the next day so she could listen to your whole [Chemotherapy] CD first!…

I suffered from severe panic attacks for decades before discovering Nancy’s Relaxation/Affirmation Techniques. Nancy’s techniques have completely freed me. I no longer experience feelings or the fear that I might die [from anxiety], nor do I have to take the 12 medications I was once prescribed to take daily. The moment I discovered Nancy’s techniques, I began to dedicate an hour each day to listening to them — 6 months later, I was able to go from 12 to ONE prescription. I regained control of m… Read more

Dear Nancy, Thank you so much for making the Chemotherapy CD. I can’t tell you how much it has helped me since I have listened to it. When I first found out I had to have Chemotherapy, I was frightened and angry. I was just beginning to feel good from the surgery and did not want to have to go through several months of feeling bad again. I certainly was thinking of the Chemotherapy as my “enemy”.
